Hah, that takes this project into a totally new direction.

I have a string of DNA relatives whose attachment point to my tree is not known.
They have a branch that goes back to Warwickshire, and I think some of them said Birmingham. Sorry I don't have the details at hand. 

Their surname Hemming, and they lived there in the early 1800s.
I will check my notes later for clarification.

Thanks. That was fast.

I saw that some of the graphics in my DNA document did not translate well to the online presentation software so I have reformed the graphics slightly and re-uploaded, here.

Last year I became interested in certain questions to do with DNA inheritance and realised that a good way to solve those problems was to set up my own mathematical model in a spreadsheet. This led to more questions and eventually I had three kinds of spreadsheet model addressing different questions in inheritance. I thought this would be worth sharing so I fleshed it out into a full tutorial on DNA matching and what to expect when you look at the centimorgan values associated with distant cousins.

Take a look if you are interested.

Hello again,

I'm trying to flesh out what I know about Alfred Boyle Crofts 1826, the younger brother to Albert Finney Crofts 1825. I can see in 1861 he is a "dealer in foreign trimmings" and in 1901 he is a clerk in a patent office. However, FamilySearch does not report his occupations in the other census years. Is anyone in a position to see what he was doing for a job in the other census years? Presumably these are shown on the original census records but not transcribed into the record summaries in FS.
